2. I added a user in the smbpasswd file using the command
smbpasswd -a <any user that is going to logon from windows>

3. I kept the security level to user. I cannot make it share because I need to delete some files and share level doesnot allow me that

4. I login to the windows machine and in the run I type
\\<host>\share

When I try the fourth step on the windows box I get an authentication pop up
When I try to login with the user I specified in the smbpasswd file.It does not login and comes up with the username <computer name of windows >\<username>.

I even tried mapping the users but couldn't do it I still get the authentication pop up
